    The opportunity 

    Complete a three-year programme that enables you to develop into a well-rounded professional Engineer.

    At Centrica, we want to attract a broad range of talent which reflects our customers in all their diversity. We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals regardless of [for example] age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religions and/or beliefs. 

    The program

    At Centrica, we secure and supply the energy and services that keep millions of homes and businesses running. Join us, as a part of our diverse, multi-disciplined engineering team, and you can develop some of the skills, knowledge and experience that will be essential to our future success. You can look forward to a mix of on-the-job learning, training modules and project work, and as you develop, you’ll find the challenges will increase in complexity and responsibility.

    Our engineering programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET), so you know you’ll be on the right track to become registered as a Chartered Engineer should you choose to; this typically takes 4-5 years, and we will help you all the way.

    Who we're looking for

    Engineering graduates who have a strong interest in Controls and Instrumentation Engineering.

    You’ll also need:

    • 1st or 2:1 Master’s degree in a suitable electronics/control and instrumentation (or closely related) engineering discipline, accredited by the relevant engineering institution
    • Right to work in the UK
    • Willingness to relocate multiple times and try new things
    • To be a passionate and creative Engineer who can deliver solutions within tight timeframes and implement them safely and successfully
    • In possession of a full UK driving licence, as you may be required to travel to remote locations

    What you'll be doing 

    Graduates will be involved in the design, operation, monitoring and optimising performance on our assets. You will get first-hand experience in technical engineering, projects, and operations, developing technologies, testing units, improving current products, or designing control systems across a variety of energy technologies.

    Our solutions are highly integrated so you will need to be familiar with digital systems. You will be working from day one as part of a team and we have high expectations of our Graduates.  So, there will be plenty to get your teeth into and it will take a lot of hard work and initiative on your part. In return you’ll get to develop career-boosting skills and establish your engineering career within Centrica.
